Join us in the PLA as we sail into the headwinds during these changing times in healthcare. Continuing our tradition, there is no challenge the PLA will not face head-on as advocates for our patients. This is demonstrated by our many committees with in the PLA. The strength of our unity and common purpose is reflected by this edition of Lipid Spin in which all members of the PLA Board of Directors were asked to participate. You will find practical, direct application to your clinics and patients information from the stimulating, peer reviewed articles. We are thrilled about our upcoming PLA/MWLA Regional Meeting in March 2012 at the Hilton Bayfront in San Diego. We deliver to you seasoned clinical experts on today's pressing issues such as the role of pioglitazone in Type 2 DM, the role of Nicotinic Acid, what to do with uric acid, how to identify and treat elevted remnant lipoproteins in postmenopausal women, new diabetic drugs and their impact on lipd management, omega 3 fatty acids and CAD, bioequivalency, and much more. These are all issues that we in the trenches deal with everyday. Finally we have multiple outstanding NLA-endorsed CME symposia in our region. The week following the Regional San Diego meeting in March will be the fourth annual Central California Cardiometabolic Risk Symposium in Fresno,Ca: "Treatment of the High-Risk Patient with Low HDL-C - Life in the Trenches." We are so fortunate in the NLA to have an opportunity for each one of us to make a real difference to be more effective advocates for our patients.
